It made me look at certain things differently, especially when times were tough. It gave me a sense of comfort from reading this and I love all the little messages she wrote in each chapter as a small take away.

An interesting book that definitely challenges the reader to think about how they view their self-worth. It is not my favorite book on this topic, but it did provide some meaningful tidbits to consider.

Lysa Terkeurst's blatant honesty and down-to-earth anecdotes make this religious self-help book a winner.
For anyone (but especially women) who has experienced rejection, loneliness, and self-doubt, this book will welcome you to a new perspective. Terkeurst makes it clear that it is not about blaming the other person - even when they are wrong - because it won't get you anywhere. It's also not about blaming yourself. It's not about blame at all! It's about changing your perspective; releasing your dependence on the opinions of others, accepting that sometimes it really is you, not them, and rediscovering God's love for you.

The author is authentic and sensitive to the readers - she wrote " Let me reach out of this flat page right now and grasp your hand. Feel the tenderness in my touch and the sincerity in what I'm about to say."
